Question

A 21.0 kg floodlight in a park is supported at the end of a horizontal beam of negligible mass that is hinged to a pole as shown in the figure below. A cable at an angle of θ = 28.0° with the beam helps support the light.

a) By computing the torques about an axis at the hinge at the left-hand end of the beam, find the tension in the cable (in newton).

b) Find the horizontal component of the force (in newton) exerted by the pole on the beam.

c) Find the vertical component of this force (in newton).
